21h WORD paragraph from which to start scanning during memory allocation
Format of IFS driver list:
Offset Size Description
00h DWORD pointer to next driver header

10h DWORD pointer to IFS utility function entry point (see below)
call with ES:BX -> IFS request (see below)
14h WORD offset in header's segment of driver entry point
???
Call IFS utility function entry point with:
AH = 20h miscellaneous functions
AL = 00h get date
Return: CX = year
DH = month
DL = day
AL = 01h get process ID and computer ID
Return: BX = current PSP segment
DX = active network machine number
AL = 05h get file system info
ES:DI -> 16-byte info buffer
Return: buffer filled
Offset Size Description
00h 2 BYTEs unused
02h WORD number of SFTs (actually counts only
the first two file table arrays)
04h WORD number of FCB table entries
06h WORD number of proctected FCBs
08h 6 BYTEs unused
0Eh WORD largest sector size supported
AL = 06h get machine name
ES:DI -> 18-byte buffer for name
Return: buffer filled with name starting at offset 02h
AL = 08h get sharing retry count
Return: BX = sharing retry count
AL = other
Return: CF set
AH = 21h get redirection state
BH = type (03h disk, 04h printer)
Return: BH = state (00h off, 01h on)
AH = 22h ??? some sort of time calculation
AL = 00h ???
nonzero ???
AH = 23h ??? some sort of time calculation
AH = 24h compare filenames
DS:SI -> first ASCIZ filename
ES:DI -> second ASCIZ filename
Return: ZF set if files are same ignoring case and / vs \
AH = 25h normalize filename
DS:SI -> ASCIZ filename
ES:DI -> buffer for result
Return: filename uppercased, forward slashes changed to backslashes
AH = 26h get DOS stack
Return: DS:SI -> top of stack
CX = size of stack in bytes
AH = 27h increment InDOS flag
AH = 28h decrement InDOS flag
Note: IFS drivers which do not wish to implement functions 20h or 24h-28h may
pass them on to the default handler pointed at by [LoL+37h]
